What you should know

“

- [Narrator] Before we begin learning about XML there are some things that you should already know. First, you should be familiar with using developer tools. In this case, text editors. We're going to be editing XML code in this course and XML is an open text-based format. So, you can use whatever text editor you want but for this course, I'll be using Visual Studio Code. It's free, runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and it also has a rich ecosystem of plug-ins available which we will take advantage of as we go through the course. If you'd like to learn more about Visual Studio Code you can check out the course, Visual Studio Code For Web Developers. If you have prior knowledge of another tag-based language like HTML, that will be very helpful. It's not required and you should be able to get by without it. But, if you're already familiar with HTML you'll find yourself right at home. If you'd like to learn more about HTML, check out HTML Essential Training. And finally, you should have some familiarity with programming, particularly in JavaScript. There are certain points in this course where we will be using the JavaScript language to work with XML. Now, I don't expect you to be a JavaScript master, but you should at least be familiar with concepts and programmings which is variables, functions, and so on. If you need to brush up on your JavaScript skills, check out JavaScript Essential Training. When you're comfortable with these subjects, you're ready to proceed with the course.
